Dating in Early Sobriety: Navigating Love and Recovery
When people get into relationships and early recovery, they make the other person their higher power. It keeps them from actually doing some deep, effective, extensive work on themselves and down the line.
Is jumping into the dating pool during your first year of sobriety a wise move? This episode of the Sober Grind Podcast dives into this hotly debated topic. Hosts Pej and Austin tackle the mixed opinions head-on, discussing whether new relationships can support recovery or become a hindrance.
They highlight stories from guests like Rachel, who believes mutual growth in recovery can make a relationship work, and Tracy, who chose to steer clear of dating to focus solely on his sobriety. The episode also underscores the importance of mentorship and seeking advice from those further along in their recovery journey. With real-life anecdotes and practical advice, this episode offers a balanced perspective that encourages listeners to think about what’s best for their own path to sobriety.
Tune in for a thoughtful discussion that might just change how you view dating in early recovery.
